Richard: Lemme just get on this page right here. I have important things to say about Michelle.

Brian Kirk: Oh we already talked a lot about Michelle…

Richard: IMPORTANT THINGS! WE HAVE INTENSE, EMOTIONAL SCENES. AND THEN WE GO TO WORK.

Richard: Also, Robb and Cat have such an open, honest relationship. She tells him not to get married and he runs off and does it secretly in the woods.

“Stannis has this speech, ‘The good doesn’t wash out the bad nor the bad the good.’ I think Davos has an enormous respect for that, and he’s duly rewarded, being put in this consigliere position. I said this to Stephen Dillane when we were rehearsing: Davos is sort of a Jiminy Cricket to this guy- his conscience. He’s a good man. He tries to do the right thing.”

-Liam Cunningham, Inside HBO’s Game of Thrones
